How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 24 = 10.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.8 ÷ 24 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/24, so part = 45 × 24 ÷ 100 = 10.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*24. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

10.8 is the 45% share of 24. The remaining 55% is 13.2, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $24 saves $10.8, so you pay $13.2.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 24 by 45% gives 34.8 and decreasing it by 45% gives 13.2. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 19.14, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
